Windows Server Replacement Folder redirection policy won't apply
Good morning! We are hoping someone in the community can guide us in the right direction. We have scoured the internet looking for a solution and nothing we have tried works. We have a windows server that we set up a very basic folder redirection policy on. We added a user to the OU associated with it, and it worked flawlessly. The user’s account mapped the folders to the correct location and was able to save data. We then wanted to use a different folder, so we created a second policy identical to the first, but pointing to a different root folder. We applied the group policy to the server, then moved the user from the original OU to the new OU. The original redirection policy disassociated, but the new one will not apply. We simply get an error message in gpresult that states “Cannot complete this function”. We have duplicated this in a live environment and a lab environment, so it seems clear that it is something that we are doing wrong or not understanding about how this is supposed to work. Has anyone run into this\have any guidance for us? Is our expectation of how this should work unrealistic? Our expectation is that the old policy will be removed and the new policy with the new folder would then apply. Thanks very much.Copilot image generation now shows "Made with AI"
At some point in the last few weeks, image generation with Copilot in Edge was changed to include a little oval with the text "Made with AI". This is very annoying. The oval is usually within the rectangle of the image content (cannot be cropped out) and often on a gradient color area (not a solid color that can be erased). I don't mind using disclaimers that my images were AI-generated, but I don't want the image itself to be plastered with extra content. Copilot says this cannot be eliminated. Copilot "says" that it can move the oval above or below the content, but it either does not properly do that, or it puts the whole image inside a solid background. This oval makes the images practically unusable in documents due to the need to hack out the oval. Copilot says this is for "transparency", but the transparency of my work is not Microsoft's problem.

D365 Licensing vs Security Roles – Why can users access data without the required license?
I am working as a Power Apps developer in a Dynamics 365 environment that has the Field Service module enabled. In the same environment, some users only have Sales licenses. I assigned a security role that provides read access to the Warehouse table to a user with a Sales license. The user is able to access and read the data successfully, even though they do not have a Field Service license. This makes me unclear about how licensing is enforced in Dynamics 365. If security roles alone can grant access to tables, how do licenses actually restrict functionality? Why is it necessary to purchase additional licenses if users can still access data through security roles? Could someone clarify how licensing enforcement works in this scenario and what the best practice is?
